It is possible that if you adjust the height using the spring seat instead of adjusting via the lower bracket, that you could lower the piston shaft all the way down into the body thus removing all the stroke, and you'd be riding on the bumpstop...and increasing your spring rate to near rigid. While i highly doubt that is the case, it wouldn't be the first time its happened.

And as for why Tein chooses the spring rates they do, particularly with any damper that is intended for street use, they are typically looking to achieve the best ride quality possible. Have you ever noticed that with an aggressively (rear) sprung car or truck, putting passengers or cargo in the back smoothes it out? Same idea.

I do understand that for optimal performance, the Evo does require higher rates in the rear due to the motion ratio being less than 1:1. Just trying to offer some perspective.

Start at full clockwise. That is setting 1, which is full stiff.

also thinking of replacing new spark plug as getting a tune soon.
mod:
hks cat back exhaust, hks intake, trust intercooler piping, ssfc, turbosmart manual b/c
is the stock spark plug is fine for this mod?

So what's the normal rate for street car on the front and back?


Im not a tuning expert, but my tuner recommended the stock plug @ stock gap on a stock tuned 4G63
